Articles on In the Skin of a Lion
I've placed the following readings on In the Skin of a Lion on electronic reserve.
Beddoes, Julie. "Which Side Is It On? Form, Class, and Politics in In the Skin of a Lion." Essays on Canadian Writing 53 (1994 Summer): 204-15.
Fraser, Robert. "Postcolonial Cities: Michael Ondaatje's Toronto and Yvonne Vera's Bulawayo." Studies in Canadian Literature/Etudes en Littérature Canadienne 26. 2 (2001): 44-52.
Schumacher, Rod. "Patrick's Quest: Narration and Subjectivity in Michael Ondaatje's In the Skin of a Lion." Studies in Canadian Literature/Etudes en Littérature Canadienne 21.2 (1996): 1-21.
To find them, simply follow this link and then choose "View Course Reserves" under the Do It Yourself menu. Then, search under my name and you'll find links to PDF versions of the three texts. I've assigned them for my English 086 students, but you might like to look at these as well.

In the Skin of a Lion
There are lots of great online sources of information on In The Skin of a Lion. One of the most fascinating webpages you'll find on the novel is this one from the City of Toronto Archives. Here you can see some of the actual photographs described in the novel, including the picture of two men shaking hands in the tunnel underneath Lake Ontario and the one of the cyclist darting across the Bloor Street Viaduct on the day it was christened and opened to the public.
You'll see a period photo of the Harris Filtration plant, the "Palace of Purification" on the City of Toronto Archives site, but this plant still exists and it has its own website where you can actually do a virtual tour of the complex. There's also an aerial shot here.
I've already directed you to the articles i have on electronic reserve in the library. Here's another interesting article that focuses on the influence of John Berger's influence on In the Skin of a Lion and looks at the book as a "cubist novel."
From this special Ondaatje feature page at nytimes.com, you can find a link to the NY Times review of In the Skin of a Lion. (you may need to register with nytimes.com in order to view this page)
